What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment that lightens the colour of your teeth by reducing stains and discolouration, helping to restore a brighter, more refreshed smile.

At Sherwood Smiles, we offer two types of professional teeth whitening treatments to suit your lifestyle and goals:

  • In-Chair Whitening: Performed in our clinic for fast, noticeable results in a single visit.
  • Take-Home Whitening Kits: Custom-made trays with professional-grade whitening gel, allowing you to gradually brighten your smile in the comfort of your own home.

Both options are safe, effective, and tailored to your individual needs. Our team will guide you in choosing the most suitable treatment, helping you achieve a whiter smile with confidence.

Common Causes of Tooth Discolouration

Tooth discolouration is a common concern and can develop gradually over time due to a range of lifestyle and oral health factors. Understanding the causes of stained or yellow teeth can help you maintain a brighter, healthier smile.

Diet plays a significant role, with foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine and berries known to stain the enamel. Tobacco use, including smoking or chewing, can lead to persistent yellowing and deeper stains that are harder to remove.

As we age, the outer enamel layer naturally wears down, making the underlying dentine appear more visible and giving teeth a darker or more yellow appearance. Poor oral hygiene, including inconsistent brushing and flossing, can also allow plaque and surface stains to build up over time.

Our Teeth Whitening Options

At Sherwood Smiles, we offer both in-chair and take-home teeth whitening treatments to suit your lifestyle, goals and desired results.

  • In-Chair Zoom Whitening: Our in-chair whitening treatment is ideal if you’re looking for fast, noticeable results. Completed in a single appointment, this professional teeth whitening procedure begins with a thorough clean to remove surface build-up, followed by careful protection of your gums. A high-strength whitening gel is then applied and activated with a specialised light to break down stains and discolouration. In just one visit, your teeth can appear significantly whiter, often by several shades.

 

  • Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits: For a more flexible option, our custom take-home whitening kits allow you to brighten your smile gradually in the comfort of your own home. We create personalised trays designed to fit your teeth precisely, ensuring even and effective whitening. You’ll be provided with professional-grade whitening gel and clear instructions, with most patients noticing a visible improvement over one to two weeks of consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does professional teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening results can last from several months to a few years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding staining foods and drinks, not smoking, and maintaining regular dental care can help prolong your results.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

Yes, professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective treatment when performed under the guidance of a dental professional. At Sherwood Smiles, we use clinically approved products and tailor each treatment to protect your teeth and gums.

What’s the difference between in-chair and take-home whitening?

In-chair whitening delivers fast, noticeable results in a single visit, making it ideal for special occasions. Take-home whitening kits offer a more gradual approach, allowing you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home over one to two weeks.

Will teeth whitening work on all types of stains?

Teeth whitening is most effective for common surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine and ageing. Some deeper or internal stains may respond less effectively, which is why a personalised assessment is important.

How white will my teeth get after whitening?

Results vary depending on your starting shade and the type of staining present. Many patients achieve noticeably whiter teeth, often several shades lighter, with professional whitening treatments.
